WCW The Great American Bash 1990 - NWA World Heavyweight Championship: Ric Flair (c) vs Sting {with The Dudes with Attitudes [Junkyard Dog, Paul Orndorff, & The Steiner Brothers (Rick & Scott Steiner)]}
So Ole Anderson has to be handcuffed to El Gigante during this, and the Dudes with Attitudes are here to make sure the Horsemen don't get involved. We start with Sting winning the first few exchanges with his strength. Sting no-sells Flair's chops and hits a big military press slam. Flair tries to roll out of the ring like he normally would, but the Dudes stop him. Flair rolls out onto the ramp now, and Sting follows him down it and hits a hip toss on the ramp, and clotheslines him back inside the ring. This crowd is crazy hot. Flair finally gets something going after a thumb to the eye. Flair hits a big suplex, but Sting gets up quickly, and hits a few clotheslines, followed by a diving crossbody for a two count. Flair regroups outside before coming back in, and he goes right for Sting's formerly injured knee. Sting comes back, but misses an elbow, and Flair goes for the Figure-4 early, but Sting blocks it. Both men are back up now, and Flair catches him with some cheap strikes that Sting sells this time. Flair tosses him outside on to the hard ramp, and follows him out. Back in the ring, Flair continues to go for the knee, and also hits some chops in between knee strikes. Sting's limping now, but he fights back with some big strikes, but misses a dropkick, and Flair continues to work on the knee. Sting moves out of the way of a knee drop, and Sting locks in his own Figure-4 on Flair. Flair gets out, and ends up pulling Sting outside of the ring, and slams him into the rail but Sting no-sells it
They get back in the ring, and Flair begs for Sting to wait, but Sting just gets on top of him and punches Naitch right in the face. Flair tries to go up top, but of course that doesn't work. Sting gets a close two count with a backslide, but Flair catches him with a sweet leg sweep to the knee
Flair is in complete control now, and goes for the Figure-4 again, but Sting kicks out of it once more. Flair stays in control though, but Sting starts no-selling Flair's chops again, and he hits a big military press slam on Flair without selling the knee at all. Sting sends Flair to the turnbuckle and Flair goes up and over, but Sting clotheslines him as he's running down the apron
Sting hits the Stinger Splash in the corner, then locks in the Scorpion Deathlock, and the crowd is going crazy. The Horsemen come running out now, and start brawling with the Dudes. The Dudes push them back, and this Scorpion looks like one of his TNA Scorpions by the time Flair gets to the ropes. Flair ties to use the ropes for a cheap pin, but Scott Steiner pushes them off, and we get some chain wrestling now between these two with some close two counts. The crowd bites at everyone of these two counts, it's great. Sting ends up hitting his bad knee on the turnbuckle, and Flair goes for the Figure-4, but Sting reverses it into a roll-up and pins him for the win
The ending was fucking awesome and I love how they didn't have Flair ever actually lock in the Figure-4 because of Sting's knee being hurt since it wouldn't be believable at all for Sting not to submit. These two have had better matches, but this was good and Sting finally winning the belt was worth the wait. Can't wait for The Black Scorpion feud to start now

Roma comes in and quickly takes it to Santana, and hits a big powerslam before tagging in DiBiase. DiBiase has control of Santana pretty easily with a nice suplex, but Santana ducks a clothesline and hits his own, followed by a big back drop. Santana misses his flying forearm though, then DiBiase catches him with a hot shot on the top rope for the elimination. Hogan is in now, and takes it to DiBiase. DiBiase catches him with a clothesline though and tags in Hercules for some double team. Hercules control of Hogan and tags in Roma again who gets a two count off of a diving shot. Roma tags in Martel for the first time, and he continues to work on Hogan, focusing specifically on the lower back. Hercules gets tagged back in now. Hogan is really taking a beating now as Hercules tags in DiBiase for some more double team. DiBiase hits some fist drops now and gets a two count after three. DiBiase tags back in Hercules and he hits some more strikes on Hogan. Hercules tags in Roma and then Power & Glory connect with their GOAT Power-Plex
Then he hits a clothesline on Roma to eliminate him. Martel quickly comes in, but Hogan is finally able to tag in Warrior and the crowd goes nuts. Warrior hits like 45 kicks to the gut in the corner before taking out all the team members. Warrior no-sells some shots, then hits a couple scoop slams before tagging Hogan back in. Hogan hits the big boot, then sloppily clothesline Martel through the middle rope. Martel botched that one a little, but Hogan might have been at fault some too. Either way, Martel says fuck it and leaves and gets counted out. DiBiase comes back in now and locks up with Hogan. DiBiase takes control early, but Hogan ends up hitting a clothesline, then a big alley-oop in the corner. Hogan hits the big boot/leg drop combo to eliminate DiBiase. Warrior gets tagged in and hits some clotheslines on Hercules, followed by a shoulder block and his splash for the win. Hogan counted along with the pin for some reason, and then they double team Slick after the match. Yeah, that was a pretty meh match.
